Ok, Jeremy Corbyn is a nob. Fact.
He’s a very very left-wing socialist who wants to re-nationalise everything that ain’t nailed down, will ‘abolish austerity’ (read: borrow so much money that previous levels of national debt will seem like chump change), he courts Islamic terrorists, donates to holocaust-deniers, joined in the pathetic rhetoric that ‘Israel could have been responsible for 9/11’ and is generally considered to be a worthless, clueless piece of anachronistic shit. Fact(s).
And he’ll become the next leader of the Labour party. Fact.
Unless he’s killed very soon. Fucked.
The Labour Party are the second largest party in the country. They are the Opposition. Ok, if Scotland had more people Labour would probably be third by now. Praise G-d they don’t.
Those eligible to vote in the leadership election have increased from 200,000 in May to over 600,000 now. Half of whom are possibly, probably, maybe, could be just bad people who want to vote for Corbyn because he is unelectable in a General Election. Perhaps those people aren’t all ‘bad’. They’re just abusing a system in which for just 3 quid you can vote in the leadership ballot. And its worth 3 quid of a lot of people’s money to virtually guarantee that Labour will not win the next election.
But what’s interesting (because Corbyn really isn’t) is what’ll happen after he wins the party leadership. Because his first job is to form a ‘shadow cabinet’. And most Labour mps with any clout have already refused to be part of it. Which means all that’ll be left are a bunch of like-minded Trotskyist has-beens with a value system based in China in 1972.
The real ‘leaders’ will abandon Corbyn. The other leadership contestants have already declared themselves unavailable. Except for Andy Burnham. The most ‘flexible’ (read: ‘desperate’) of the contenders. He’s already pitching himself way left of where he started to try and usurp a bit of Corbyn-mania for himself. “Yeah, I can do socialist” spouts the Scouser. He speaks like Steven Gerrard but looks like Scott Tracey (Thunderbird 1). And he’s a tosser who moves with the flow. Not a great characteristic for a leader. Fact.
3 weeks to go. Another nail-biting finish. Except its already been won.
Happy Saturday. Fact.
